Hornsby TAB - Stoopy - legend racing man - Punters friend - best TAB in Canterbury - they should model all TABs on Stoopys - he is miles ahead of them all

Good guys both of them, both could have a laugh. 

I remember the old tab across the road beside park, before moving to richmond club

Before my time Newmarket - but Stoopy has all the fields up well laid out - easy to follow - just a great place to go to - so punter friendly - superb operation Hornby  - punters dream

Not been to hornby club for years, suppose mainly due to not betting much with tab anymore. 

What about these 2 pics of tote windows at riccarton & addington. 

Something about that old tote building at addington, warm summer night, walking to have a bet, then a wee walk back to the track once reons voice kicked in. I love using a device, but that tote was great.

Both gone - its where we are at

Yeah that was my choice of Tabs , it could have 75 to 100 there on a Friday night  and Saturday 100 to 150 even more to be honest.. 

Good staff,clean and knowledgeable punters around you but even better the Coachman 50 metres down the road .

Scotch fillet and a pint Friday nights between races , Saturday’s  a burger and chips then back to the punting.

It was in Gloucester Street across from Issac Theatre 

Your right, Gloucester St.

Went to the Shirley a couple of times but too many rumours going around regarding abouts his antics , not my cup of tea

This is a recent observation and Hesi might know this one . ....I have a drink now and again with a mate at Westgate in Massey. Next to the bar was the t.a.b (shut down earlier this year) there was a young lady working there, great body work, but when she laughed (and she always seemed to be laughing) the laugh would make Freddy Krueger run a mile, first time I heard it I thought she was putting it on, but it was real!!....Nice girl though and I'm sure she has another job at another agency out west... although I don't have the necessary documentation to go any further West....I.E tattoos, Black t shirt and a mullet!
